Topic: Modern Greek (Read 1848 times)

I have, for a few years, had a desire to learn Modern Greek. I'm wondering what tools, books, sources, software, etc. are best, in the opinions of those who have learned it, preferably from those who learned it outside the context of a university course (though, of course, I'd appreciate your opinions as well).

I know a secret about a former Supreme Court Justice. Can you guess what it is?

I have used Teach Yourself Beginner's Modern Greek and can say "I'm waiting for two friends from London" pefectly. Learning on your own needs a heap of motivation. I learned German some years ago through a correspondence course and found that fruitful enough to sit exams at the local high school. So if such a course in Modern Greek is available I would recommend it.
